Maciek ,
From what you write, it seems like normal A442 behaviour. Keep in mind these are heavy trucks, mine weighs roughly 3 tonnes empty. If look at this video of a Hummer H1 (from 1min:18secs.) , you’ll get and idea of how a torque converter slips when taking of .

As Hoser said; Please check your tire pressure. When I rotated my tires, I had tires with different pressure on both my front and back axle.
Before:
Left front (high pressure) right front (low pressure)
Left rear (high pressure)...
Dscal,
We have just returned from a trip down through Europe to Biarritz and back again, clocking up some 3000 miles. Sitting at the autobahn with the cruise locked at 100mph I was going through the same thoughts you are. My truck has done 206K miles, and has been very dependable. I’m gonna...
thanks for your inputs
tires look normal, with marginal more wear on, what was previously, the front tires. They are inflated correctly.

The tailgate rust is fairly normal. My truck got its tailgate replaced by Toyota Denmark when it was 4 years old. The new tailgate started to rust also, but after it was sprayed with cavity wax the rust has stopped. I think the problem is well known, in europe at least.

I was going thru the Norwegian LC clubs classified ads and found these two. One is from 1991 the other from 1994 both have driven around 300.000km. Apparently they were both converted at Arctic Trucks when they were new. I Can’t help but admire the toughness of the 80 having covered that many...
They did a Dyna with Mega Cruiser underpinnings. It uses a 15B-FTE. The military version also uses the Mega Cruiser parts.
I would love to get my hands on either of them
How annoying. My screen is also cracked but I’m not gonna bother changing it till it gets more cracks. From what I understand most installers do damage when they replace them. Mostly from scratches when they cut out the old piece, and don’t touch up afterwards. Rust around the windshield is not...
